Friend got DUI in my car
My friend got a DUI in my car. I recieved nothing. They impounded my car for the night. I got it back the next day. With my original plates. I don't have any DUI charges and have never been in this situation. Could anything else happen to me?

If you got the car back you are very lucky. Had it been that person's third offense within ten years, or second offense with a reading of over .20, the car would have been seized and you might never have seen it again.
You are probably in the clear at this point - unless there was an accident. You could have some liability for damages or injury to others if that happened.
There's a lesson here. Don't let other people drive your car.
